It's always exciting to learn about building products

The Tide Tech Talks showcased the company's innovative approach to product development using an integrated fintech ecosystem, emphasising collaboration and agility to adapt to the rapidly changing fintech landscape.

The Big Mountain?

It is more thought-provoking to choose the best course for developing a product roadmap, to change the course of product roadmaps, and to examine how large rocks have been managed. In order to prevent any obstacles in the way of the product development process, the presenters at the Tide Tech Talks emphasised the significance of goal and objective alignment across all teams. They also talked about the advantages of having frequent feedback loops and efficient communication to make sure that all teams are operating in unison. The presenters emphasised the essential tactics and industry best practices for effective product development in the cutthroat fintech sector by sharing their experiences and thoughts. The Big Mountain event went into additional detail about the difficulties in setting priorities for jobs and resources in order to guarantee the timely delivery of the most significant features.

Time blocks

The self-time contribution of individual time versus product manager time is carefully managed to maximize productivity during real-time execution. The event also demonstrated how important time management and efficiency are to the development of new items. By allocating resources effectively and setting priorities for tasks, teams may ensure that the most valuable features are delivered on time. It became clear from the self-time vs. product manager time debate that successful execution requires finding a balance between individual contributions and centralised direction.

Big Rocks?

Tuesday: two Big Rocks principles identify and address the most critical jobs first, then move on to smaller, less critical ones. This allows for more efficient execution. This method guarantees that teams are moving forward on important tasks while also assisting them in maintaining focus on their primary goals. Large jobs can also be divided into smaller, more manageable pieces so that teams can move forward steadily and avoid feeling overburdened. In general, the Big Rocks Tuesday idea helps teams stay focused and organized, which increases productivity and efficiency in the product development process.

Pre-read meeting

A pre-read meeting is a great way to help participants become more prepared. Team members can review the week's top goals and priorities during the pre-read meeting to make sure everyone is aware of their specific tasks and is in agreement. Team members are able to have a more focused discussion during the actual meeting since they have had time to process the information and come up with possible tactics or answers. Teams may make the most of their time and resources by getting started on the week with a well-defined plan of attack. This proactive strategy establishes the framework for an effective and successful next week.
